"Probably"! The gun death rate is just over 10x higher in the US per capita (10/100000) v (1/100000), it's a massive difference.

No there is, try using a screen reader, it reads out the header in front of every cell, its really hard to understand vs a semantic document with css styling for people not living with disability.

I don't know about your doctor but mine uses his computer to see my medical records, including before I moved to the city. Also he prints prescriptions.

You should actually take a good look at yourself, this is a disgusting opinion and I hope for your sake you are just trolling.

It costs more to fly a disabled person. Obviously that is wrong, but your overly simplified logic "You should pay more because it costs more money to fly you" obviously makes no sense.

Yeah i saw that if you could actually get the 12mbit plan and be worse off that sucks. Also i just realised mine is FTTB not FTTN, which i imagine changes it a lot. Also I live in the Melbourne CBD. Seems like the mileage varies a lot on th

You can say whatever you want when you sell stuff in Australia, another set of laws (what we are talking about here trumps it). The most obvious case is warranties, you can take an iPhone back after 2 years with a 1 year warranty, and they

In Australia for example you can't do your own (unless you are an electrician). Imagine if you buy a house with faulty electric work, you can't "see" it or even reasonably check it all in a building inspection. These kin
